Is it possible to load bclips only to certain specific parts of the rig for crowd?

For example, I have a bunch or agents walking. I would like to retain all the walking animation. But I would also like to load and apply some random set of clips only to the arms (for some to have 1 or 2 hands in their pockets, some could be walking with their arms crossed, or at their backs etc).

For now, I could just bake out specific states, and randomize from each of those, which works great!
This is just out of curiosity.

I think that is the nature of the crowd system at this time. One agent equals one clip.

You can use the Agent Clip Layer DOP [www.sidefx.com] for that.

Holy smokes! That is exactly what I need! It totally skipped my mind to check for other crowd related nodes in DOPs (too much time spent tinkering in SOPs). Thank you so much for this @cwhite!
